Leg Pain/numbness After Surgery?

I was banded on July 11th. Everything went well, however for the past three days I've been having numbness in my upper side of my right leg. This sometimes turns into sharp pain while sleeping. Also, this morning I noticed some sort of skin allergic reaction on both of my legs. Has anyone else experience these? Getting a bit nervous and not sure if I should wait to contact the dr. Tomorrow or o to the er. Thanks

if you havent I would go to the er

I agree with the others, if you can't contact your doctor for their advice on the matter, go to the ER. You just had surgery a couple days ago and what you describe isn't normal.

Always better to be safe than sorry.

Could be shingles. You need to be checked.

My doc told me to watch for painful legs for a month after surgery. U could have an embolism. Not trying to scare u but its pretty serious. Did u have the compression stockings on after ur surgery? Mine were kept on all nite in the hospital.

Good luck
